Powercraft

Pre-race Scrutineering is for all powercraft, Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) and helmets. Craft and equipment will be checked for compliance with the Specifications.

Pre Race Scrutineering is compulsory for all entries. Interstate/overseas and entrants living more than 200 kilometres from the Perth GPO, arrangements must be made with the PDRC Scrutineer. The Scrutineer is a ‘judge of fact’ and a protest may not be made against their decision.

Your craft and race gear must be fully laid out and ready before entering the scrutineering line.

As the Time Trial is being conducted on part of the Avon Descent course, and contains river obstacles, your craft must pass ALL aspects of scrutineering.

Entrants who need to take a second craft on a Time Trial for people who are not present on the day need to speak with Starter Officials to organise an early start position for themselves in order to be back at the start line in time for the extra run.

The Department of Transport has lifted the speed limit (5 knots) on the day of the Time Trial ONLY. Entrants are not permitted to practice the Time Trial course at any other time. Please obey this condition to ensure our good relations with DOT.

Craft that fail Pre-Race Scrutineering must re-scrutineered prior to the Avon Descent

They will be posted on the PDRC, WCDRC and Avon Descent website the following day.

This allows officials to ensure results are correct.

NOTE:An officer from Department of Transport will be in attendance at scrutineering to check all licenses, registrations and skipper's tickets. Without all three criteria being current and correct, craft cannot take part in the Time Trial.

Safety Alert!DO NOT TRAVEL IN AN UPSTREAM DIRECTION AT ANY TIME DURING THE TIME TRIAL.

If you break down, pull over to the left hand bank and wait for the Recovery Boat. The Avon Descent Support Unit (ASDU) will have two Recovery Craft that will follow the last starter down the river to clear the course.
